Fall Day

The ground is wet from the night's rain
Dampness permeates the air
A puddle reflects the image it sees as clear as in a mirror

The sun is shrouded in a cloak of grey clouds
as if protected by a shield 
while it cuts the night and dimly comes alight

The plants drink their fill from their thirsty roots
The leaves stick to the pavement
as if glued in a colorful collage

Fall is upon us as it seeps into our lives
The changing seasons bring their varied gifts
Each day a new surprise

Beautiful Day

Perfection can be found 
     in the simplest of things

In the sun shining warmly
     in a clear blue sky
     as it finds just the right places to land

In the breeze sweetly blowing 
     on your face
     each time you need refreshed

In the delightful mix of sun and air
     that begs for you to 
             Breathe It
             Soak in It
             Bathe in It
     until you have had your fill
             and then some

In the onset of dusk
     that signals you
     to come and see
     the end of a glorious show
     
In the colorful flowers
     showing off their blooms
     as they fill the evening air
     with their wonderful aroma

In the crunch of the leaves
     underneath your feet
     as you stroll along 
     the peaceful streets

In the trees reaching down
     to greet you as you pass
     with a cheery hello 
     and a nod of their head

In the pink-streaked sky
     as the sun takes it rest
     after working hard
     to brighten our lives

In the wink of the crescent moon
     as it makes a surprise appearance
     while the sun finishes its bedtime routine

In a day that was so beautiful in every way
     from beginning to end
     that your spirit soars
     to heaven to thank it
     for letting you truly
             See It
             Touch It
             Taste It
             Smell It
             Hear It
                 and
             Feel It
     with all the senses
     blessed upon you

Inspired by the enjoyment of the most beautiful day
as I was walking in the evening and contemplating it

Inspiration

The fresh crisp air caresses my face
As the Sun greets me with a warm embrace
The birds chirp and call from their hiding places
Nature blesses me with all its graces

The blue sky above fills me with delight
The dew on the grass shimmers in the light
The leaves whisper as they move to and fro
The trees freely tell me all that they know

Inspiration all around me refreshes my soul,
nourishes my spirit, making me whole

9/19/14
Inspired to write this on a walk in my little park,
with all of nature surrounding me. 

The Elements

I release to the Earth
all my Fear and pain
My Sadness is removed
and my true self remains

I embrace the Air,
Moon and stars above
I spin in their orbit
which envelops me with Love
I release my Anger
to the red hot Flames
I feel it leave my body
I no longer play its games

The Water washes over me
cleansing my Soul
Refreshing my energy
and making me whole

The Tree stands within me
Powerful and strong
The Elements surround it
I am right where I belong

I feel complete now
The Forces did I see
They brought a Deep Peace
and inner harmony
